New £4 Aldi school uniform sparks price war

Us boys saved on things like woolly tights by not wearing any.

Baby Tink plagued me rotten with school uniform. At primary school he was very small for his age. He didn't really catch up until he was about 8 or 9. Then he rocketed reaching his current 5 11 by the time he was 14!!

He grew so fast even he couldn't keep track of how tall/big he was. His spatial awareness was rubbish. Stubbed toes, bashed elbows. I remember he had dreadful pains in his legs from growth spurts. I had to buy all his clothes too big or he'd be out of them within months. Then he suddenly stopped and hasn't really grown much since.

At 14 he looked about 21 with his face full of designer stubble and broad shoulders. He seemed to grow right through the gangly phase altogether!!
